Wasn't there some discussion a few years ago about Shoppers doing extensive renovations to their location at Freshwater, even buying a surrounding property, etc? I remember some discussion at City Council about it. Is that off the table now? The Freshwater location is a really old building in need of a lot of repair, the floors are bad, etc.
UPDATE: From City Council Meeting of June 16, 2015 - I don't believe the public hearing ever went ahead. " Delegations 198 and 204 Freshwater Road – Rezoning and Redevelopment of Shoppers Drug Mart The Committee welcomed a delegation from Dillon Consulting on behalf of Shoppers Realty Inc. They presented a Powerpoint providing an overview of their intended redevelopment of Shopper’s Drug Mart. Discussion ensued and Council questioned access to the property. The proponents advised that vehicular access to the property will be from Winchester Street, same as at present. Currently 198 and 204 Freshwater Road are split by Liverpool Avenue. Shoppers Drug Mart wishes to purchase two parcels of land from the City: Liverpool Avenue (between Freshwater Road and Winchester Street), and a small parcel of land between Empire Avenue and the Shoppers Drug Mart property. The purchase of these two parcels of land will provide for more efficient use and access to the site, along with additional room for parking. Legal Services has reviewed the proposed sale, and have noted there are no issues with the lands being conveyed to Shoppers, as they contain no water or sewage services and do not impact traffic flow. Legal has requested that the description for Liverpool Street specifically reference the right of 196 Freshwater to cross over the lands being conveyed so as to access their property. This change should have no impact upon any plotting of the overall site. Public Works, Roads and Traffic Division, has also reviewed the proposed sale and has no concerns with it.

Council suggested that the applicant acquire the property at 196 Freshwater Road to facilitate a more accessible entry to the property from Winchester Street. Dillon Consulting advised that 196 Freshwater Road uses Liverpool Avenue to gain access to their property and even with the development, nothing would change. The applicants did assure Council they would explore the option of purchasing 196 Freshwater Road Recommendation It was moved by Councillor Hickman; seconded by Councillor Davis: That Council support staff’s recommendation to approve the draft Terms of Reference and after subsequent receipt of a satisfactory Land Use Assessment Report, the application be referred to a public meeting chaired by a member of Council. At a later stage, a public hearing chaired by independent commissioner will be required " |
Redundancy at it's finest: there are now two Ardene locations in the Avalon Mall.
|
heard a rumor that Toys R Us maybe closing up shop here... Anyone else heard anything about this??
|
I hope there is no truth to this rumour! It seems to be a busy store! I know that there has been much discussion regarding the building and larger plaza (tearing it down, building hotel, etc). Would they just be moving to a new location I wonder?

I'd read somewhere that the plaza was being redeveloped by the Mall owners. Cohens moved out and the whole area was to be changed, even a bridge accross the river, etc.

I believe you are correct unsaying that there are big plans for the plaza, as I believe the owners are moving out the long term lease tenants. I heard that the only part of the building that will remain is the Toy's R Us portion.
On another note, does anyone have any update on the Marshall's store that is supposed to go into the old Future Store? I don't see any activity up there as of yet? :) |
